Good morning everyone. Another day and another game here in
the Bronx between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. It is always
fun to beat up on division rivals, but it is especially fun when those rivals
are the Baltimore Orioles, at least as long as Buck Showalter is managing the
team anyway. That guy just seems to have a raging hard on for the team that
fired him a year before the dynasty began and can’t seem to let it go. DRAMA.
GRUDGES. Let it go, Buck. Let it go. Tonight the Yankees will send CC Sabathia
to the mound to make his first home start of the season while the Orioles will
counter with Kevin Gausman. Should be a fun one, enjoy the game.
Sabathia was typical Sabathia in his first start of the
young 2018 season allowing two runs, one earned, and five hits in five innings
of work in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Sabathia had success against Toronto
in the start and pitched well enough to win, something he could not say much
against the Orioles during the 2017 season. Sabathia pitched to a 7.41 ERA
against Baltimore in 2017 allowing 14 earned runs and 23 hits in just 17
innings pitched.
Gausman wasn’t great in his first start of the season
against the Minnesota Twins allowing three home runs in just four innings of
work. In the start Gausman allowed six runs in a loss for the Orioles. Gausman
has not pitched well against the Yankees or inside Yankee Stadium either last
season allowing 12 runs in just two starts last season.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
in the Bronx and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB Network. You can also
follow along with the game on MLB TV, the MLB At-Bat app and by tuning into the
Yankees radio broadcast on WFAN with the legendary duo of John Sterling and
Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, smash some O’s, and Go Yankees!!
